Stephen Sondheim played by JD Sebastian
Stephen Sondheim is an American Songwriter who writes beautiful music! I am always so honored to even play the melodies or sing the profound lyrics Sondheim has either composed or collaborated in the composition of. At one point in my life I played the piano for a restaurant in West Hollywood owned by two guys who were nuts about Sondheim. They’re love for Sondheim was contagious.
